The Trend of Chemisorption of Hydrogen and Oxygen Atoms on Pure Transition Metals: Magnetism justifies Unexpected Behaviour of Mn and Cr
(Elsevier, 2020)
The spin of the electron is decisive to understand electronic interactions in heterogeneous catalysis, mainly because the stabilizing Quantum Spin Exchange Interactions (QSEI) are always a significant contribution to the ...
Re-programming Hydrogel Properties Using a Fuel-Driven Reaction Cycle
(American Chemical Society, 2020-03-04)
Nature uses catalysis as an indispensable tool to control assembly and reaction cycles in vital non-equilibrium supramolecular processes. For instance, enzymatic methionine oxidation regulates actin (dis-)assembly, and ...
Improving photocatalytic oxygenation mediated by polymer supported photosensitizers using semiconductor quantum dots as ‘light antennas’
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
Quantum dots (QDs) adsorbed on the surface of polymeric photocatalysts improved the photochemical generation of singlet oxygen due to the efficient energy transfer process from the semiconductor nanoparticles to the bound ...
Synthesis, antiprotozoal activity and cytotoxicity in U-937 macrophages of triclosan–hydrazone hybrids
(Springer Verlag, 2017)
The synthesis and biological activities (cytotoxicity, leishmanicidal, and trypanocidal) of 11 triclosan–hydrazone hybrids are described herein. The structure of the products was elucidated by spectral data (NMR, IR) and ...
The interaction of amino acids with macrocyclic pH probes of pseudopeptidic nature
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
The fluorescence quenching, by a series of amino acids, of pseudopeptidic compounds acting as probes for cellular acidity has been investigated. It has been found that amino acids containing electron-rich aromatic side ...
Chemically Fueled Self-Sorted Hydrogels
(American Chemical Society, 2022-01-12)
Narcissistic self-sorting in supramolecular assemblies can help to construct materials with more complex hierarchies. Whereas controlled changes in pH or temperature have been used to this extent for two-component self-sorted ...
ChemMend: A Card Game To Introduce and Explore the Periodic Table while Engaging Students’ Interest
(American Chemical Society, 2014)
The deeply knowledge of the periodic table is one of the most important keys to understand
the basic principles of Chemistry. Memorizing the elements of the groups and periods is one of the most
commonly used strategies ...
Deamidation of pseudopeptidic molecular hydrogelators and its application to controlled release
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
Hypothesis
The incorporation of a succinic acid-derived moiety in amino acid derivatives would favor an intramolecular catalysis of a deamidation reaction. Such reaction would permit controlled disassembly of molecular ...
Elaboration of advanced glass-ceramic glaze for anti-slip porcelain stoneware
(University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy (Sofía. Bulgaria), 2017-05)
The present communication describes the synthesis of anti-slip enamel exhibiting glass-ceramic nature using
new matte frits and raw materials. The glass-ceramic glazes obtained are characterized by various instrumental
...
Enhanced Electrical Properties of Alkali-Doped ZnO Thin Films with Chemical Process
(MDPI, 2021)
Doped ZnO are among the most attractive transparent conductive oxides for solar cells because they are relatively cheap, can be textured for light trapping, and readily produced for large-scale coatings. Here, we focus on ...
